Description: A twist to the
good old count down script that counts up instead. Specify a past date (ie, the day you
got a job), and let this script count how long you've been suffering in it!

Example:

Directions: Simply insert the below into
the <body> section of your page:

There are two areas of the script you'll need
to configure. The first is obviously the date you wish the script to count up from. Simply
pass in a date, in the form of year, month, and day, into function countup(), located at
the last line of the script:

countdown(1997,12,05)

The second concerns the text to be displayed
for the count-up. This is determined by the line

document.write("It\'s been "+difference+" since the launch of
JavaScript Kit!")

You can change anything inside
document.write(). The keyword "difference" holds the number of days passed since
the count-up date, and should always be included in the message of your choice.
